EUROSPINE 2025 Medal Lecture: Meik Wiking

Thursday, 23 October · 11:00–12:00 · Plenary Hall

The Science of Happiness: What Well-Being Means for Spine Care and Society

We are proud to welcome Meik Wiking, internationally renowned author and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute, as the 2025 EUROSPINE Medal Lecturer.

In his keynote address, The Science of Happiness, Meik explores how the science of well-being intersects with health, decision-making, and the broader systems in which we work. With more than 1 million books sold worldwide, his insights offer a fresh, human perspective on the impact of happiness and quality of life on clinical care, public health, and professional fulfilment.

As a researcher and policy advisor, Meik brings a compelling voice to our programme—one grounded in evidence, yet deeply personal and universally relevant. This session invites us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the values that shape our daily work as spine professionals.

Why Attend?

  • Gain insights into the links between happiness, resilience, and healthcare

  • Explore how well-being data can inform smarter policies and better outcomes

Whether you’re early in your career or leading a department, this session promises to resonate far beyond the lecture hall.
